AMD needs more to compete with NVidia: A new 7970?

An AMD 7970 on steroids, they say. Based on the same core but with a slightly higher frequency becoming one of those GHz Edition, a new designation launched by AMD in the generation of the 7000 Series and includes all graphics cards GPU which achieved an operating frequency of one gigahertz.

The AMD Radeon HD Edition GHz and are known to have a couple of models on the market: the first was the 7770 and later became the 7870 . The alleged GHz AMD 7970 Edition 7970 differ little from normal, apparently in the GPU frequency to 925 MHz jump from the base to overcome the GHz how much? For now there is no official confirmation, and given that the existing models stick to 1000 MHz, possibly that is the fate of the new card.

But that little improvement might not be enough to beat the NVidia GTX 680 that has proved so interesting. AMD has other possibilities for improvement: change the memory interface to the vaunted XDR2 or implement a new cooling system much more cash, the only reason to raise the frequency of the GPU more.

But I fear that this will remain weak. AMD 7970 is a good card, but has little to compete against Nvidia in the same price range. The great strength of AMD is just lowering prices of sale to offer a much more attractive than the competition, although less powerful. At the end of the day the vast majority of us have more account of the performance / cost than raw performance.

DoS against competitors? – Held raid on delivery

The four managing the online ordering platform delivery hero have fallen into the sights of the Berlin prosecutor’s office. The news magazine Der Spiegel reported in its current issue, they are being investigated on suspicion of computersabotage.

On Wednesday last week, officials from the raided state criminal office in Berlin, therefore the business premises of the company, founded in 2010, which settled claims to be already more than a million food orders more than 5,600 affiliated delivery services.

According to search warrant to the Company by means of Internet attacks have “repeatedly” made its established competitors also in Berlin for its customers Lieferando unattainable, it said. The damage done amounted to “at least 75,000 euros.”

The Lieferando-makers were at a particularly serious and targeted attack in December 2011, which led to the loss of several hours of ordering platform in the early evening time, analyzed the attacking addresses. One had led directly to a rented hero of delivery servers, so Lieferando CEO Christoph Gerber.

Paralyzed the allegations, the competitors using cyber-attacks have called the co-accused hero-CEO Fabian Siegel delivery against the ‘mirror’ the other hand, as “totally absurd”. “I’m not so stupid to make myself liable to prosecution for a possible disadvantage of a much smaller competitor.”

He explained the process with a designated delivery hero crawler that automatically check whether the figures reported by competitors Lieferando affiliated restaurants were true. This is common in the industry. If this led to the collapse of Lieferando systems, the competitor’s technology could not handle, said Siegel. Lieferando will now proceed civilly against the competitors and claim damages. The amount in dispute is reportedly in the low seven figures.

Dispute between Apple and Samsung conversation between CEOs

The two found in numerous lawsuits against Apple related companies, and Samsung will arrive within the next three months at the highest level to solve their problems. This has suggested the district court in San Jose, also before the hearing takes place .

Specifically, this means that the CEO of Apple, Tim Cook, and Samsung Electronics, Gee-Sung Choi, in the presence of a judge to hold direct talks. The goal here is to be an out-of-court settlement that leads to the clarification of a number of possible patent disputes between two parties. Both companies agreed to be bound by the meeting.

How exactly could a union is far from clear. However, stated in the past, several industry experts, it will come at the end of all probability to an exchange of licenses. This could now be done without additional processes. Not least because of the current very contradictory relationship between the two companies, this would be a logical step. Because Apple is the biggest single customer, Samsung, with an annual volume of more than eight billion U.S. dollars. In return, Samsung is the main supplier of the iPhone and iPad manufacturer.

However, the talks did not automatically lead to success. Just two weeks ago it was announced that a similar attempt in the Oracle case had failed against Google. Here, too, should be a top-level solution without trial are found on the advice of the judge. The views of both companies, however, were too far apart, so a trial of the case now before the court inevitably is.
